Papering over wood

Currently attempting to renovate a house built in 1900. After removing the old wallpaper, we discoverd the previous owners had papered over direct wood. Not paneling, but wood. It appeared that a layer of something was between the paper and the wood, that almost appears to be of poster board material. Any suggestions on how to wallpaper this wood without doing drywall or drywall. Thanks.
